OsteoForce™

Support for Bone Health and Integrity*

Synergistic blend of bioavailable vitamins and minerals formulated to help maintain nutrient balance and support bone health and integrity.*

A unique blend of highly absorbable nutrients specifically formulated to support healthy bones.*

• Promotes bone health*
• Supports healthy bone strength and integrity*

Recommended Use: Take 4 capsules per day or as directed by your health-care practitioner.

Warning: Consult your health-care practitioner before using this product if you are taking Coumadin, warfarin, or other anticoagulant medications.

Nutritional balance is key for bone health*

The carefully selected nutrients in OsteoForce™ work synergistically to support bone health and integrity.* Maintaining optimal bone health can be challenging because the skeleton not only requires adequate bone-supportive nutrients, as provided in OsteoForce™, but also serves as a mineral reservoir for the rest of the body. If too many nutrients are drawn from the bones, they may weaken. Supporting bone health, therefore, depends on maintaining homeostasis — sustaining the nutrient balance between the skeleton and the rest of the body — a balance that this formula is designed to support.*

What This Product Is

OsteoForce is a unique blend of highly absorbable vitamins and minerals formulated to support healthy bones. OsteoForce features calcium and magnesium that are bound to malic acid for enhanced absorption, along with chelated forms of zinc, copper, and manganese for superior bioavailability. The nutrients in OsteoForce work synergistically to support bone health and integrity.*

Optimal bone health can be difficult to maintain because the skeleton requires adequate amounts of bone-supportive nutrients, but it must also serve as a mineral reservoir for the rest of the body. If the body extracts too many nutrients from the skeletal system, the bones may weaken. Therefore, the key to supporting bone health is maintaining homeostasis, which involves sustaining the nutrient balance between bones and the body.*

Mechanism of Action

Optimal Mineral Balance for Bone Structure

Calcium and magnesium are provided in a 2:1 ratio — the optimal ratio for mineral balance — and bound to malic acid for enhanced absorption. Calcium is the primary mineral in bone hard tissue. Magnesium influences proper bone mineralization and houses approximately 60% of the body’s magnesium in bones. Chelated zinc, copper, and manganese support different aspects of collagen and bone production with enhanced absorption and bioavailability.*

Vitamin Synergy for Calcium Trafficking

Vitamin D (1,000 IU/25 mcg) regulates calcium homeostasis, bone mineralization, and bone formation. When calcium levels in the blood are low, vitamin D stimulates the body to absorb more calcium from food and directs the kidneys to excrete less calcium. Vitamin K1 (1,000 mcg) supports complete activation (carboxylation) of osteocalcin — the protein that deposits calcium in the bone. Vitamin K is often described as a “traffic cop” for calcium, directing it into bones where it is desirable and reducing accumulation in soft tissues.*

Geranylgeraniol and Tocotrienol Support

Geranylgeraniol (5 mg) supports the conversion of vitamin K1 to K2 (as MK-4), ensuring comprehensive vitamin K activity for bone mineralization. DeltaGold® vitamin E delta- and gamma-tocotrienols (50 mg) support a healthy inflammatory response and bone health. Vitamin C supports the synthesis of collagen, a critical component of bones and connective tissues. Boron provides additional bone mineral support.*

Applications

  • Individuals seeking to maintain bone density already in the normal range*
  • Those wanting comprehensive bone health support with optimal mineral ratios*
  • Individuals needing highly absorbable calcium and magnesium bound to malic acid*
  • Those seeking vitamin D and K support for proper calcium trafficking to bones*
  • Individuals wanting chelated trace minerals for superior bioavailability*

Product Questions

How does OsteoForce compare to OsteoForce Supreme and Osteoben for bone health?

OsteoForce provides comprehensive bone-supportive minerals and vitamins with a 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio, vitamin D (1,000 IU), K1, geranylgeraniol, and chelated minerals. OsteoForce Supreme adds MBP® milk protein for active bone formation support and higher vitamin D (2,000 IU). Osteoben provides calcium, magnesium, vitamins D and K, zinc, plus genistein for phytoestrogen-based bone density support. Choose OsteoForce for excellent comprehensive bone support, Supreme for maximum support with MBP®, or Osteoben for bone support with genistein.*

Why is the 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio important?

The 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio is considered the optimal ratio for mineral balance in bone health supplementation. This ratio reflects the relative amounts of these minerals in bone tissue and ensures that both minerals are available in proper proportions for bone mineralization without one interfering with the absorption of the other.*

Who may benefit most from OsteoForce?

Individuals wanting to maintain bone density already in the normal range, those seeking comprehensive bone health support with highly absorbable minerals, people who need vitamin D and K support for proper calcium trafficking to bones, and anyone wanting a well-balanced bone health formula with chelated minerals for superior bioavailability.*
